I'm using a NetApp ds4246 to hold 24 drives, and it's glorious - embrace the rack mount life. Although my computers themselves are all HP Prodesk minis, which are tiny and amazing, 1 u high and can fit two across on a shelf.
I have been looking to do this as well, I'm just not 100% sure how it all connects together. Do you have the disk shelf connect to a server with lots of sas cards?
You just need one it mode hba sas controller with an external out, and probably a conversion cable from 8088 to netapp's 8436.
You can daisy chain shelves if needed, and I think you can use a second sas card for active failover but I haven't tried it.
Oh, i thought a single sas port could only do 8 sata drives. Interesting
